With the latest installment of the Prospective Perfusion Student Forum coming up in March, now is the perfect time to look back at the insights from the inaugural session. Last September, Perfusion.com launched its first-ever quarterly Prospective Perfusion Student Forum, drawing in over 200 aspiring perfusionists eager to map their future in this life-saving field. Sponsored by the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) Perfusion Program, the event featured dynamic presentations from industry experts Scott Sanderson and Carla Maul. In this blog series, we start with Scott’s compelling roadmap, guiding attendees from application to graduation. Stay tuned for part two, where Carla will tackle the transition from graduation to employment!
